Abu Dhabi: As global carbon markets move from ambition to execution, a UAE-based climate finance and AI platform is positioning itself at the intersection of policy, capital and technology. Green Economy Partnership (GEP) has announced the successful mobilisation of international institutional finance for its first transaction under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement—a milestone that signals […]
Air frying high-fat foods such as bacon produces fewer volatile organic compounds and other airborne particles than deep-fat frying. Your air fryer may be secretly helping the planet, even if you have a penchant for fatty foods. The mini-appliances have boomed in popularity in recent years, quickly becoming a mainstay in kitchens across Europe. Air fryers often […]
Conservationists have been left baffled by the bird’s odd movements, with fears that they could be triggered by environmental factors. Scientists on a research vessel off the central California coast spotted a waved albatross, marking just the second recorded sighting of the bird north of Central America. The yellow-billed bird with black button eyes, which […]
Over the past 20 years, scientists have increasingly identified microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) as a growing form of environmental pollution. These tiny plastic particles have been detected throughout all major parts of the Earth system, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. Their widespread distribution has made plastics a rising concern for researchers studying […]
One of the world’s most iconic migrations is at risk, as rising temperatures alter the quality of vital flower nectar. Every autumn, millions of monarch butterflies embark on a treacherous journey – flying more than 3,000 km from Canadian fields all the way to Mexico’s mountain forests for the winter. It’s a migration that attracts swathes of […]
Scientists say Greenland’s sinking sea levels will have a ripple effect on coastal communities, shipping routes, fishing and infrastructure. Rising temperatures are causing sea levels to rise around the world, putting millions at risk of severe flooding and coastal erosion. But in Greenland, the opposite is happening. Researchers at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, which is part […]
A multimillion-dollar drive to safeguard dugongs in the UAE and other threatened species has been unveiled by the Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund and Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund Mubadala. As part of the efforts, a UAE Conservation Leaders programme is being launched to support early career conservationists, and the fund is also supporting projects in South-east […]
Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University set out to understand how polymer-coated fertilizer (PCF) used on farmland eventually reaches beaches and ocean waters. By examining PCF debris collected from shorelines across Japan, they found that very little fertilizer plastic returns to land through rivers. Only about 0.2% of the PCFs applied in nearby areas were detected […]
The EU is “rapidly” moving towards a clean energy future, but experts warn our “outdated” grid is holding us back. Wind and solar generated more EU electricity than fossil fuels for the first time in 2025, marking a “major milestone” in the transition to clean power. A new report from energy think tank Ember has found that […]
Scientists have analysed almost 30 years of data to discover how whales in the North Atlantic Ocean are learning to co-exist in a warming world. Rising temperatures and increased human activity in the North Atlantic Ocean have triggered “abrupt changes” in marine ecosystems, particularly for whales. A new study published in Frontiers in Marine Science has examined […]
